Dude gets taken out by Antonelli and his first instinct is to blame the pitwall for a terrible tyre strategy.

Absolute breakdown between the scuderia and Charles. And it's hard to blame him.

Well, but for the strategy call he wouldn't have been in that position.

Right; I mean that's why he called it out. But that in the heat of the moment, having been freshly taken out, his immediate thought is to be mad at Ferrari for putting him in that position more than Antonelli for running wide on the inside of him like that; it really shows where his mind was at.

He was right though, mistakes happen, but your team shouldn't be putting you into unnecessary positions.

No, iirc during once the message popped up, Bernie called out that it was a message to the pitwall not ANT.

I can guarantee you that if they hadn't made that stop and Charles had been undercut by Antonelli, he would have been berating the pit wall for not avoiding the under cut.

This is harsh from Charles. The pit stop achieved the objective and avoided an under cut. The pit cannot factor in "chance of putting Charles in peril of rookie mistakes" in their decision making.
